Dirty and noisy. Own beers are just tolerable - samplers available. I didn’t like the place. Historic location though ..

House brews were ok but I was expecting a bit better. Service was good and the place seemed friendly enough. Worth a visit if in Dublin.

Well, actually I can’t believe this place has deteriorated so much over the last few years. When I first went there (around 2000), it was a simply perfect place with excellent beers. Over time, it became really dirty and they added Heineken and Guinness to their range of beers and promoted them massively. At the same time they reduced their own brewing. Before this, they had the full range of own beers (they had 6 constantly available plus one or two extras). Last time I went there they only had two left, both of which were very good. Lunch is ok and reasonably priced. Very nice building, gets crowded in the evenings, come early. Live music at weekends. Large screens to show sports events. Several national newspapers available for reading (free). Still a nice place to be.

Visited this place twice. Once in 2000 and recently this summer 2005. Cool brewpub looking out over the River Liffey just off O’Connell St. Good Irish fare (as good as it gets anyway). Their house brews are delicious. Great place to hang out.

Visited in November 2000 and loved it. Great location and broad selection of brews, as I recall. <<Revisited in September 2009. Still a cool little brewpub, right on the banks of the Liffey with a good view if you can get a seat by the window. Tasty brews.>>

Reached it by luck, but anyway, good place, good homebeers. The ambiance is ok, very Irish, and nice.

Just off the O’Connell Bridge, this is a multi-tiered brewpub serving traditional Irish food. Beers were well-done and food servings were well-priced and well-made. The Export Stout was my favourite beer from Ireland and is worth seeking out. Staff were inattentive at best when I was there, but don’t let it detract you from this place... it’s worth visiting.
